    are you trying to say after the install there is a Program Files (x86) Folder?

    are you sure it is a 32 bit OS?

    Try to check you system specs .. dxdiag on the search bar of the start menu

    Of course it`s normal, that`s where 32 bit programs go.

    Its not normal in a 32 bit Win7 i think sir AddRam. every 32 bit Win7 that i have seen so far is only "Program Files" on it not "Program Files (x86)"

    I think he meant for the folder name

    So why is it there then.
    I wouldn`t even worry about it.
    It was upgraded from Vista, so there could be many anomolies. (even though he claims it`s a clean install)

    Open this Program Files (x86) folder, is there anything in it ?

    Maybe he is just thinking there is something wrong.

    It is 32 bit and was installed to a quick formatted ssd that I had put 64 bit on earlier but changed my mind about using 64 bit. Vista had never been on this drive.
